Federal authorities had said the pair illegally scored mortgages and other loans, by using fake documents to overstate their income.

For example, in 2001, their fraudulent $121,500 loan application included a W-2 and phony paycheck stubs.

Then in 2005, they secured a $361,250 mortgage by claiming Teresa was making $15,000 a month as a real estate agent, even though she was really unemployed, officials said.

The pair declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2009 and in ensuing documents, hid various assets and income — including “Teresa Giudice’s true income from the television show `The Real Housewives of New Jersey,’ ” according to federal prosecutors.

Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice – affectionately called “Juicy Joe” by his wife on the hit Bravo show – also failed to file tax returns between 2004 and 2008 despite making $996,459 in those years, prosecutors said.
